I use a brush. I never have to adjust anything. Well...except my mask.
My attitude could use some adjusting too according to my mother-in-law.

When you have the availability of spray equipment , you can see the advantage to it . Brushing as tony is doing can also work for small areas. I used to use a brush also. I paid $60 for a good Badger hair brush. You finish is only as good as the brush you use.
What brush do you us Tony ?

It sounds like Tony might use the "Brush-OFF" with his mother-in-law
